[PATCH 2/3] mm: page_isolation: remove unnecessary freepage_migratetype check for unused page

[Weijie Yang]

when we test the pages in a range is free or not, there is a little
chance we encounter some page which is not in buddy but page_count is 0.
That means that page could be in the page-freeing path but not in the
buddy freelist, such as in pcplist or wait for the zone->lock which the
tester is holding.

Back to the freepage_migratetype, we use it for a cached value for decide
which free-list the page go when freeing page. If the pageblock is isolated
the page will go to free-list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE] even if the cached type is
not MIGRATE_ISOLATE, the commit ad53f92e(fix incorrect isolation behavior
by rechecking migratetype) patch series have ensure this.

So the freepage_migratetype check for page_count==0 page in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() is meaningless.
This patch removes the unnecessary freepage_migratetype check.
